It's strange - for the last 3 weeks or so, there hasn't been a single day where it has been just our 2 dogs here, until today. Rocky, our foster dog that we've had for 2 weeks, went to his forever home this morning. The people came and met him and fell in love with him on the spot, and brought him home. I can't stop crying :( I know he's going to be happy - this couple just lost their 13 and 1/2 yr old Chesapeake Bay Retriever recently, and LOVE dogs. Rocky will be good for them. I just keep thinking, what if he thinks that we didn't want him? What if he thinks we just gave him up, or that he did something wrong? Maybe I'm being silly, but I hope that he knows that we did this because we thought it was what was best for him. We considered keeping him, and really wanted to - but I think he will do better in a place that is a bit less hectic, not a place with foster dogs in and out, where he might feel like he has to compete for attention. I hope they update me on how he's doing. All of the other dogs we have adopted out, the people have emailed me pictures, and little updates and stories about how well the dogs are settling in and stuff - it makes it so much easier to hear that stuff and know we did the right thing.
Tomorrow we get Winnie, who is a lab/corgi mix. She's like a miniature lab, she's adorable! I think that a family that is coming to meet her tomorrow night though is going to adopt her on the spot...so, back down to 2 again! It just feels so QUIET around here! My dogs keep running around looking for Rocky :(
Then, next weekend, we are fostering a pup named Lando. He is the cutest puppy I've ever seen, I think. Here is a picture of him

He is 12 weeks old, and we think he is a dachshund/beagle mix. He's a whopping 3.7 pounds lol
Anyways, thanks for reading my post and letting me whine about missing Rocky. Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!!
